J. Kenji López-Alt is fantastic. Professional chef who shows a lot of the how and why in his videos. How to do something in the recipe, and why it’s done. Professional chef with a bunch of other paid resources if you end up liking his style

For short haul flights where a train is preferable, or private iets, absolutely. However airplanes are still the most efficient way to travel long distances. Abolishing airplanes altogether is one of the least thought out takes I’ve ever heard.

Never thought I’d see the day, someone admitting they were wrong online. Take some imaginary gold.

Saw it last night in IMAX. There were no parts that dragged. It did not feel like 3 hours and was very engaging the whole time. I’m still reflecting on it. Go see it if you can in IMAX

Considering Edge lane roads have reduced crashes by 44% in the US I’d say they fare pretty well with American vehicle ownership. When drivers are sharing the lane with oncoming traffic, it tends to slow their cars down a bit regardless of size. I’d even wager that larger trucks feel the calming effects of this tight road design more than a small car.

Plenty of neighborhoods in the us with parked cars on both sides of a bidirectional travel lane wide enough for one car. Cars go slow and negotiate for space. It’s a very similar concept here.

Glad someone made this comment before me. Here’s the MLive article the clickbait is based on. You can learn more about edge lane roads here.

Generally these are good for slower speed routes that don’t seea lot of traffic. Residential streets are a perfect example. It’s basically how drivers instinctively navigate down slow narrow streets. Not too familiar with that area of Kalamazoo to know if it’s a good fit for that road but I’m generally in favor of this road layout and think we need more of them in the US so it’s not seen as some scary confusing thing by motorists.

The in game music had the exact opposite effect lol

I would say it is poorly managed for the fact that their rules and community standards are not clearly outlined. They ban for reasons not listed in their rules. For a community this large, there needs to be some sort of outlined expectations. It’s fairly apparent they are more interested in moderating the subreddit and this Lemmy community is downstream of that in their minds. Expecting us to just magically know the subreddit standards without being listed out is textbook bad management.

Unless that discussion violates mod opinion

Welcome to the club

The com at the time was dominated by discussion of the Prodigy cancellation, so it was a relevant topic and not being overly critical for the sake of being overly critical. It presented an opinion of the cancelation that wasnt predicting doom and gloom for the franchise like the mod line being pushed at the time.

Even if it isn’t substantial, why isn’t there a list of blocked domains? Or a rule about it? It could have spurred a discussion in the comments, what makes a community forum like this so special. The point is it didn’t violate any community standards. Then when I tried to open a discussion about it to try and refine the rules/community standards moving forward (early days of reddit emigration) I was permabanned for starting drama.

I’m not looking for a com where everyone is super critical. I am looking for one where mods are acting as petty little tyrants banning well meaning contributors because they don’t have the exact same opinion on certain things as they do.

The mods are more interested in the reddit community and it shows. It’s clear Lemmy is downstream of reddit to them.

!startrek@lemmy.world

The mods on startrek.website are the same ones from reddit and care little about transparency or actually hosting a star trek community that fosters open discussion. They are frequently banning users that voice opinions that don’t break any rules except mod opinion.

This has been going on for some time and is the perfect use case for why decentralizing common discussion topics is a feature, not a bug, of the fediverse/lemmy

This has been going on for some time and trying to be kept quiet by the mods/admins of that instance

Screw Russia. They’re pathethic and getting a taste of their own medicine.

So will you if a nuclear war is triggered. Do you really think protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty is worth burning down the world in an exchange of nuclear weapons?

Not happy about Russia invading Ukraine but also not happy about the US potentially escalating to WW3. Ukraine is not worth a nuclear Holocaust

I’m not arguing with someone who keeps contradicting themselves in their own comment and lacks any basic historical awareness of the cold war or 20th century at large. Let me make my point crystal clear:

Nuclear war and world war should be avoided at all costs

The US committing troops to the ground to fight for Ukrainian sovereignty will trigger WW3

A third world war between NATO and Russia will involve the use of nuclear warheads

If you’d like to refute any of these points please be prepared to bring something to back up your words. I am a historian so I’ll take any primary source or peer reviewed secondary sources. Otherwise you’re just blowing hot air for the purpose of stoking hate. Something I won’t take any more part in.
